Demystifying iControl REST Part 6: Token-Based Authentication

Hello :)

I was trying to get a script to work with F5 APIs, but seems I need to authenticate with tacacs first... I was trying to change the script to Powerhsell and obtain the token, but I'm always getting '(401) Not authorized'. What I'm using: $body= @" { "username": "f5_user", "password": "f5_user_password", "loginProviderName": "tmos" } "@ $token=Invoke-RestMethod -Uri https://f5_ip_addr/mgmt/shared/authn/login -ContentType 'application/json' -Body $body -Method Post

I'm mostly sure I'm missing something, but been reading the F5 site and other sites and can't get to it... can anyone provide some help? The final objective is to be able to make calls via the F5 APIs, to get stuff like node current connections, etc.

Really appreciate any input. Thank you!
